National Fraud Initiative (NFI)
The Fund participates in the Cabinet Office's anti-fraud initiative, known as the National Fraud Initiative. For this initiative, the Fund provide details of pensioners and beneficiaries so that they can be compared to information provided by other public bodies.
This will ensure that no pensions are being paid to persons who are deceased or no longer entitled, and that occupational pension income is being declared when housing benefit is applied for.
The details of any local government pensioners who have taken up re-employment are also reported; therefore, it is important that you inform the Fund of any re-employment in local government. The Fund may share information provided to us with other bodies responsible for auditing or administering public funds in order to prevent and detect fraud.
